Ok I did it wihtout seeing.... :)
[Other SmartWatches] negriton:
It worked perfectly and suddenly stopped working. Anyway I'll check it this weekend.

Regarding battery problem... More and more is making me mad.... After having charged it again... I hve been playing with it and worked well... Wi-Fi ON, installing apps, watching Feedly... And bat works as it should.

So.... it happens without any relation... I have download CPU Spy and Wakelook Detector and it appears to enter in deepsleep pretty good.

With wakelook Det. I've seen some apps that makes start CPU (Google touch search) and (Calendar) ... I have frozen both to see how reacts. ..

Let's see but I don't understand why sometimes works well and why others not

The firmware is really odd in this respect. This random battery killing happens more often than other devices I've deved on. I'm still running a test cycle but estimates put it at 4hrs til dead (1%). And that's with display on all the time, all radios on (BT Connected), Wake sensor on, Open Mic listening, Google syncs active, and Heads-Up Notifications running.

I can say this though, the K18 sure eats battery even with tweaks. The D5/Mini battery usage is 89% for display and radios, the K18 is 98% for display and radios. I also noticed something interesting, the D5/Mini will trickle charge when it gets to about 90-95%, the K18 is fast charge all the way.

Hi Negriton,

I had the same issue here! The dock which came with the watch could not connect with any computer here. It charges fine but the Mac/PC does not show the watch and the watch itself does not switch into drive mode. I opened the dock, checked the pins and also tried to re-solder the contacts with no success. But I needed a second dock anyway to have one at the office that´s why I ordered an additional one. With this one, everything works fine - plug´n´play. I can connect the watch with my Mac, transfer files, install watch faces and so on.

I suppose this is the same with your dock.....
[Other SmartWatches] negriton:
reading this... I would say that my dock has broken... What I dont understand is that it worked perfectly 2 weeks ago... and suddendly stopped working... I always have it at same place so I don't really know how it could have broken...

---------- Post added at 09:29 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:51 AM ----------

2 hours of use and 82%.

But... Ir appears that most of the time it is in Deep Sleep...

And almost the rest with maximum CPU core

My baseband version on my D5 is MOLY. WR8. W1315. MD. WG.MP.V62 - Is the custom rom ok?

This is what I get in USBdeview:

[IMG="USBdeview"]http://s28.postimg.org/ifqxyp57h/Untitled.png[/IMG]

I am on a Win 7 64 bit - do I need to disable the driver signature?
[Other SmartWatches] glynlucas:
Hi, unless I'm mistaken, I can only see the mass storage driver loaded here. Looks to me like the v-com drivers are not installed. It's an easy thing to miss but until you have them loaded, nothing will happen in SPTools because the process doesn't begin unless SPTools finds a device within a few seconds.

As other have also said, you need to make sure the dock is working properly - all contacts must be working correctly (the dock may well allow the watch to charge and still be faulty). I dismantled mine and found on of the spring pins was not working. The dock is a weak link!

If you have the v-com drivers, try right clicking on the inf file and see if they will install without turning off signature verification.

Hope that helps.
[Other SmartWatches] caltomoto:
Mydock is working ok I think. I just turned on UBB debugging and it updated to this:

[IMG="usbdeview 2"]http://s29.postimg.org/g7hycmvhj/Untitled2.png[/IMG]
[Other SmartWatches] auchentoshan:
That´s really strange indeed! Because there is not much inside of the dock which could be broken or damaged.

But you are really sure that the debug mode is switched of at the watch when trying to connect to it wit h your PC?
[Other SmartWatches] caltomoto:
Ok I got it working! Upgraded to Windows 10 and used SPTools v5.1352.01 and it works perfectly. Downloading the new ROM at the moment.
[Other SmartWatches] caltomoto:
I'm on the new rom but now having a problem with my data connection. Everything worked fine on the stock rom but now I notice that the signal bar has changed colour from blue to orange and instead of giving the standard internet speed details, such as E, H for 3g etc I am now getting one bar with RE above it. Does anyone know what this means?
[Other SmartWatches] glynlucas:
Hi means you're on 'data roaming' and 'edge' (gprs). Make sure you're connected to the correct mobile provider in the connection settings.
[Other SmartWatches] caltomoto:
I'm definitely on O2 in my setting for the UK but I now have no signal what so ever. Does the custom ROM affect this in anyway or should it be standard across all?
[Other SmartWatches] glynlucas:
I'm using a Giffgaff sim in mine which is also O2 - I have signal, albeit poor - although it was no better with the original firmware. Data does drop off unless you keep exercising it - set mail to collect every 15mins.

noobie questions

hi i have the K9 (from gearbest), i have read this threath many times and downloaded everything that Looki said.. i only have a few questions that i hope someone can answer.

1. is it possible to backup the stockrom with SPtool, if yes how??

2. what are the risk using SPtools and REALLY go by the step by step guide??

3 how abot the warranty? can i still use the warranty if i flash??

4. What will be the biggest upside with flashing?

thank you for the help
[Other SmartWatches] caltomoto:
I had 3 bars on the watch before the update to custom and now zero with a little magnifying glass which I guess means it is searching. I'm in exactly the same location so not sure why it's doing this. I've turning it off and no luck so far.
[Other SmartWatches] Lokifish Marz:
There's a backup of the stock K9 firmware already in the K9 thread

None really, it's near impossible to brick MTK devices.

Flashing does technically void warranties but if say the band breaks and you need to send it in, you flash back to stock.

"biggest upside" is opinion so it depends on the person.

When you flash, the watch has to go through the whole search for and registering on the network all over again. Flash back to full stock, same thing. So it could take a minutes to fully lock in. Flash back to full stock and you will get the same result. I've timed it and stock and this ROM are within 10-20 seconds of each other as far as lock in times. Which one locks in first is also not consistent.
[Other SmartWatches] caltomoto:
NETWORK PROBLEM FIXED!

Well I tried the simplest solution which was a hard reset - hold the button for about 20 seconds until it shuts off. When I restarted everything started straight away. I now have full network with 3G connection!

@Lokifish Marz is there a way to get the voice to text to work with the keyboard?
[Other SmartWatches] Lokifish Marz:
Move to China, I'm only half joking about this. The voice to text is tied to the "Voice Keyboard" which uses Baidu and not Google. There's a serious latency connecting to the Baidu servers assuming that you can connect at all which causes the "network error" popup. I am working on a solution and will be releasing a new build this week.
[Other SmartWatches] DonChilenzi:
thanks for the answer Loki.. i will flash do to the stock calender is "taken out" from your ROM...hopefully soon we will se a ROM with the abillity to take a luncher like mini launcher for wear that does not drain battery
[Other SmartWatches] caltomoto:
Brilliant! Voice integration really will make this a proper smart watch. As good as the keyboards are the voice option is my preferred choice.

Another query folks - Sorry!

My D5 stock was connecting to my mac perfectly opening as a drive. Now with the custom rom I am not getting this to happen. I know it's not a cradle issue as I just installed the new rom today on a windows 10 machines. Any ideas?

[Other SmartWatches] Lokifish Marz:
I'm at a loss at this point about the USB thing. Here's why; since the TrueSmart I've had this happen a number of times on multiple MTK devices. When the dock/cable is removed from the list of causes, I've done everything from doing nothing to a full erase/format/flash in SPTools. The results have never been consistent. One time rebooting the device works, next time nothing works, leave it alone for a few days and it starts working again. And when it fails isn't consistent either. Been running the next release for a couple days now and yesterday USB stopped working. Factory reset and nothing. Rebooted the PC and still nothing. Went to bed, woke up the next day, USB worked again. :confused:

The only thing I've had any reasonable luck with, but not 100% success rate, is completely removing any drivers, cache, software associated with MTK, ADB and Android in general from the computer. After that's done, rebooting the computer and start plugging in devices and installing drivers. It's been my experience that there's something about MTK devices and drivers but have never been able to nail it down. A perfect example of this is how MTK VCOM drivers will work on one port but not another. Wipe everything clean and start over, it may not be the same port that works this time.

Hi all. I notice in the directory under apps that there is a list of the app icons. Does this mean they could be edited to change the style of the stock icons?
[Other SmartWatches] caltomoto:
I'm having a real problem getting my contacts onto my watch. They won't sync with my iphone anymore and I even tried putting a VCF backup on the SDcard but the contact app won't import them. What is the easiest way to get into the watch setting to clear the cache on the app manager?

Also I had to remove the Jbakk keyboard - It lost the files when I turned the phone on and off. Did anyone else have this issue?
[Other SmartWatches] Lokifish Marz:
What directory is this? I'm looking for a response like /system/app or /data/app.

Install a launcher or app manager that will allow you to pull up app details

If you are connected to wifi and were signed into Google on the watch, Jbakk probably updated. The update renamed, and possibly deleted, the folder on the SD. Same thing happened to me yesterday as well.
[Other SmartWatches] caltomoto:
Can you let me know how you got google keyboard working? My keyboard brings up the chinese voice button when the mic button on the keyboard is pressed.

---------- Post added at 09:32 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:22 PM ----------

The folder was just in my phone storage when I opened it on windows. Inside were PNG app icons from the menu.

What app manager do you recommend using? I'm wondering if it is a bluetooth issue. My iphone connects the watch as both X1-NC and the model number (I renamed it to D5g). The X1-NC seems responsible for notifications and the watch model part (in my case the renamed D5g) is the part that gives the option to sync contacts.

Whats weird is that my watch will actually pick up the X1-NC device as an available device in the bluetooth settings. Is this normal due to the bluetooth 2.0/4.0 modules or is something strange happening?
[Other SmartWatches] negriton:
Are you using the Stock ROM or the Loki ROM? If you're using Stocks you have to download Google app and if Loki's nothing (it's already installed). Then go to settings/ language and you have to enable voice dictation

[Other SmartWatches] caltomoto:

[Other SmartWatches] Lokifish Marz:
[MENTION=5923897]negriton[/MENTION]

I think he's talking about the stock circular keyboard that comes in the firmware. The stock circular KB is coded specifically to only use that useless SpeechKB as voice input. I really wish we had somebody with a strong app development background on the device as I found what I think is a way to point it to Google's voice input. I just need a second set of eyes on the app side work.
[Other SmartWatches] pablo11:
I must admit - I have gone back to using the K8 regular round as it has a bigger more responsive screen.

I cannot work the tiny keyboards that are floating around.

Don't quite know what I'm doing wrong but google voice for texting isn't happening for me either.

I'll keep an eye on what turns up here though.
[Other SmartWatches] negriton:
as Loki says, I dont use the stock keyboard, I use Touchpal or Google Keyboard. With one of those keyboards and Loki ROM (or installing Google app) you can use perfectly Google voice dictation.

You should have your watch in your language and I dont remember if I had to changed in "Google Setting" the language to same as your phone (I think it changes itself automatically, but I'm not really sure)
[Other SmartWatches] pablo11:
Thanks, I"ll give it another go ....

@Lokifish Marz - I've been playing around between the 3 different firmwares for the w812a.

Something interesting came up - the K9 stock firmware always causes a power surge on my Win 7 USB bus after a while.

Did you notice it at all?

I've been poking around trying to pull the network screen-off cut off fix from K9 firmware to add to your custom rom but haven't had much progress yet...

The only buttoms that are hiden are "Coma/simbols" and "C.Letters" and you can reach them perfectly...

Loki could you also check the ROM to see is there is any issue with the mobile settings compared to the stock D5 Rom.

I had 3G straigh away and now I am getting RE 60% off the time.

I have also seen the power surge message on my Win 7 USB bus when I make the initial connection on my K8 Mini flashed with the K9 stock firmware. I don't recall if that happened with the stock firmware of the K8 Mini. I had attributed the problem of the power surge to my USB charger which has 2 pins that are depressed and does not spring back to the original position.
[Other SmartWatches] caltomoto:
Hi all - Here is a fix for the watch not showing now on OS X after the custom rom installation.

Follow this link: https://www.android.com/filetransfer/

Install the program - Android File Transfer

You can now browse your watch again and copy files over!

Not good. Have to look at whether they have a slightly different charger for the K9 or different battery. I'd be surprised if this is the case but you never know...

Widget and Clock skin transparency, Wallpaper

While messing around with clock skins and browsing around the system i noticed that actually, if the widgets were made transparent, wallpaper could be seen through. This goes for all widgets including watch faces. From what i realized is that this is embedded somewhere in the launcher/widget level, and wanted to ask if someone more skilled could look into this (if this is an interesting topic whatsoever) and maybe find a way to remove the currently configured black background (at least behind clock skin)? Than we would be able to make a watch face that is completely transparent (Example on the picture) and set up a wallpaper of our liking. Right now, even if the clock skin is made transparent, it goes full black when in focus. It is transparent only when home screen is in edit mode (scroll to any of the widget, press and hold on the widget, and you get an option to re-arrange/delete them). (Haven't figured out so far what other widgets (and how) can be added).

Same goes for the "embedded" desert background for notifications. Maybe it is enough to replace current pngs (that are probably used, with completely empty/or just slightly dimmed (transparent) ones, and not go into re-coding of any sort?
[Other SmartWatches] negriton:
Using Google gesture search you can go to wallpaper and change it to whatever...

Enviado desde mi MX4 mediante Tapatalk
[Other SmartWatches] sakiboy87:
I am aware how to change the wallpaper, but the widgets have own embedded backgrounds, as well as clock widget itself, that prevent a see-through and the block the visibility of the wallpaper. On the pic i uploaded, it can be seen that the clock skin is transparent, however when the clock widget is in focus, the clock skin is no longer transparend (black layer is added behind it).

[Other SmartWatches] sakiboy87:
Hi, sorry for this. I posted the question here because I am aware you are working on a new rom release and thought that this mod might be a part of the next release if we work our way around it. Its just a UI improvement element idea that does not relate exclusively to clock skins but to widgets and menus as well.
[Other SmartWatches] pablo11:
Yep
[Other SmartWatches] Lokifish Marz:
Transparency would seriously suck. You would have to have a transparent duplicate of every watch face ever made, including user made faces. You would also have to implement independent transparency control for every screen and widget the watch has. So lets run this down;

100+ watchfaces - 1 normal, 1 transparent (this alone would take me months if not longer)

7 separate transparency sliders- 4 for widgets, app drawer, settings menu, power/quick settings menu

Rewriting the firmware and apps/widgets to allow for it

NOPE, not gonna happen.
[Other SmartWatches] melcrose:
MUCH thanks for this.. and question..

Does this do anything to fix the "wow my watch phone is no longer a phone and I didn't even know it until I missed 3 important calls" issue?

I can't believe anyone can / would use this as a watch-phone. It will just .. stop taking calls and you have no idea it happened until you try and place one and find that you can't. Wha? ?

Does your rom help this?

THAnKS AGAin man!
[Other SmartWatches] pablo11:
I know this question is not intended for me but - I have never missed a call on my watch.

Not sure I understand what you mean by "just stop taking calls" ?

If it is in relation to the limited baseband issue - the watch has never been advertised as being able to use more than the ones available.

There is a common interest in seeking more bands but as yet none have been found.

My LG G4 H815 is rooted with TWRP installed. I've got the OTA notification for a V20d-JAN-15-2016 (actually running V10d-EUR-XX).

I can download and initiate the update, but my phone reboots in TWRP (instead of bootloader I suppose ?) and the update hangs here.

Is there a way to go through this ?
